I realise this is suboptimal, but I'm not sure what to do without a hands on session with the APU2 platform. It may as well be fixed in FreeBSD 10.3, but that is still a few months ahead, so even if fixed there we'd have to look and see what caused this and provide a backport of the fix in our 16.1 series.

Both dmesg dumps look ok, except for the former refusing to boot using the same layout. It may also be related to the good old cam boot delay setting...

15.x was outpaced too fast to keep the images around and since we're going to discontinue upgrade support next year for those who haven't upgraded for 2 years there isn't much reason to bring them back.

Images in general work well. Things to go over:

o Don't panic.o Upgrade your BIOS.o Name your hardware. Match it against bugs from FreeBSD over here: http://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/o Describe your problem in detail. Match it against bugs from FreeBSD over here: http://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/o We cannot possibly fix boot problems inside our GUI package.o We provide gradual FreeBSD upgrades in the hopes that such issues will be overcome, but there's no guarantee.o If there are issues with our build tools please review them and send us actionable intel on how to make them better *for everyone*: https://github.com/opnsense/tools

Instantly destroyed my install, isn't even booting into the opnsense shell... While I get this seems humourous, can a 16.1 or 16.7 please be re-released with the backported patch so OPNsense is usable on any platform supporting USB3?

Same issue here, I'm trying to install this baby on a brand-new APU2 board but I'm using 16.7...

Edit: Ok, now I was able to boot by pressing ESC to get into the Boot prompt and there I typed:set kern.cam.boot_delay="10000"boot

But now it seems my 16 GB mSATA which is plugged in the first port is not recognized as install-destination? Only the USB Stick I am booting from.... BIOS is up to date (2016/03/07) The newer BIOS only adds PXEi funktionality (http://pcengines.ch/howto.htm#bios)
